Publisher's Summary
2018 Audie Award Finalist for Autobiography/Memoir and Excellence in Marketing
"In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I've often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net. Now I'm letting my guard down." (Hillary Rodham Clinton, from the introduction of What Happened)
For the first time, Hillary Rodham Clinton reveals what she was thinking and feeling during one of the most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections in history. Now free from the constraints of running, Hillary takes you inside the intense personal experience of becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major party in an election marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules. This is her most personal memoir yet.
In this audiobook she describes what it was like to run against Donald Trump, the mistakes she made, how she has coped with a shocking and devastating loss, and how she found the strength to pick herself back up afterward. With humor and candor, she tells listeners what it took to get back on her feet - the rituals, relationships, and reading that got her through and what the experience has taught her about life. She speaks about the challenges of being a strong woman in the public eye, the criticism over her voice, age, and appearance, and the double standard confronting women in politics.
She lays out how the 2016 election was marked by an unprecedented assault on our democracy by a foreign adversary. By analyzing the evidence and connecting the dots, Hillary shows just how dangerous the forces are that shaped the outcome and why Americans need to understand them to protect our values and our democracy in the future.
The election of 2016 was unprecedented and historic. What Happened is the story of that campaign and its aftermath - both a deeply intimate account and a cautionary tale for the nation.

Interesting first person take - comfortable to listen to
I liked hearing her take and how to get back up after something like that . I found some of it a bit repetitive. It sounds like Hilary is taking to you which is impressive for an audio book . Worth a listen no matter which way you are politically inclined.

Inspiring book based on facts and built with heart
I listened to this audiobook to hear Hillary’s perspective, but I got so much more out of it. She presents as calm, logical, and deeply passionate about improving the lives of others. She uses facts to back her statements and heart to carry the message. This book made me truly admire Hillary and I think it is a worthwhile listen/read for everyone.

highly recommended
It is as much a reflection as it is an explanation on what happened. Insightful and balanced.

I loved this book.
As a Australian I am not able to have ever really understood why Hillary was not given the chance to be President of the USA. Now I realise what she was up against and my respect for her has only grown. I hope the americans are one day able to again gain the respect of the world when kind and thoughtful leaders are in power

Bittersweet and Truthful
Hillary lost, but she's gotten over it.
Instead of using her time to throw witty remarks and spread hate (like some people consider this book is), she spent her time elaborating the controllable Strengths and Weaknesses of her campaign, including the mistakes she made, while detailing the uncontrollable Opportunities and Threats she faced - including those God-darn emails!
But, despite being laden with all these facts, she manages to keep sprinkles of hope trailing the journey this book undertakes. It could easily be summed up by three quotes:
"You try, you fail, you try, you fail... but the only true failure is when you stop trying." - Madame Leota, The Haunted Mansion
&
"A ship is always safe at shore, but that is not what it is built for." - Albert Einstein
&
"Keep going." - Hillary Rodham Clinton
